ABKCO

ABKCO Records is a music label that was formed in 1968 by Allen Klein, a prominent figure in the music industry. It is part of ABKCO Music & Records, Inc., which was founded in 1961 as Allen Klein & Company. Known for managing artists like Bobby Darin and Sam Cooke, Klein later went on to manage The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

ABKCO Records primarily focuses on re-releasing recordings from its extensive catalog of music rights. In 1968, Allen Klein acquired Cameo-Parkway Records, and ABKCO still owns the full catalogue of this label today. Additionally, ABKCO owns and/or administers the rights to music by renowned artists such as Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, Marianne Faithfull, and The Kinks.

Although Allen Klein passed away in 2009 from Alzheimer's Disease, ABKCO Records remains under the ownership of the Klein family. Currently managed by his son Jody Klein and distributed through Universal Music Group, the label continues to preserve and share iconic musical works with audiences worldwide.

Sam Cooke was an American gospel/R&B/soul/pop singer, songwriter and entrepreneur. He is recognized as one of the founders of soul music and one of the most important singers in soul music history. Born on January 22, 1931 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, USA, he tragically passed away on December 11, 1964 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Although details about his death are still disputed, official police records state that he was killed by a gunshot. Sam Cooke was also inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 (Performer) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987.

The restored Sam Cooke At The Copa reveals Cooke’s Copacabana performance with all of the nuance and passion that his adoring audience experienced fifty-five years ago. For those who never had a chance to hear Sam Cooke in person, Sam Cooke At The Copa affords the best seat in the house. Sam Cooke’s set at the Copa is a microcosm of his overall career insofar as it mirrored the artist’s own eclecticism. Broadway, blues, folk, jazz, gospel and even country, and, of course, soul are represented on such tracks as Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out, Frankie and Johnny, Try A Little Tenderness, and the hits Twistin’ The Night Away, You Send Me and (I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons. Of special note is Cooke’s version of Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ In The Wind that reflected the struggle for civil rights then underway. Dylan’s song inspired Cooke to write his like themed masterpiece, A Change Is Gonna Come. Recorded live at the Copacabana, New York City, July 8, 1964 Originally released in 1964 – out of print on vinyl since it was last pressed in 1987 Remastered by Joe Yannece. Lacquer cutting by Carl Rowatti, Trutone. Mastering Heavyweight vinyl edition manufactured at Quality Record Pressings, USA
